I got this idea from an on-line chat board I'm a member of and thought I'd do a blog about it. It's been a decade full of changes for me and as we ring in the first month of 2011 I thought I'd take a moment to look back and reminisce. Here is a time line of sorts of my life over the last ten years...

2003: Adopted Molly cat
2004: I graduated with my Bachelor's in Accounting and got a new job at a health insurance company
2005: I finally broke it off with my exboyfriend for good. He was a liar and a cheater, but it took me 8 years to finally kick him to the curb.
2006: I started a new job in Reinsurance Accounting where I remain today, went to Aruba with my brother, A.R. and I met on a blind date, I bought my condo, we got Tomas the dog, started grad school for my MBA
